The Shabby, Sophomoric Behavior of Democrats at the SOTU
American Thinker ^ | 1/31/18 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 01/31/2018 2:19:39 AM PST by markomalley

It is difficult to imagine a more galling demonstration of incivility than the Democrats in the room for Trump's SOTU speech. They scowled, frowned, and sat on their hands throughout the speech. They could hardly be bothered to acknowledge the heroes in the audience when they were introduced. While the Dems brought illegal immigrants, Trump invited actual paragons of American character and the families of victims of illegal immigrant crimes, as well as a victim of North Korea. It was embarrassing, like watching the anti-Semites in the UN stomp out of the room when Benjamin Netanyahu speaks. How is it any different? Our Democrats behave exactly like the most racist, intolerant people on the planet, and in their own Capitol.

The Democrats loathe the tax reform that has kick-started the American economy. They abhor the return of American manufacturing and the bonuses so many companies have doled out to their employees. It was not so long ago that Obama essentially swore that "those jobs are never coming back." "Crumbs," billionaire Pelosi called their bonuses. The left today hates our military. They hate the notion of national security. Like Obama, they cannot abide the unfair advantage, as they see it, of American might, American success, and American freedom which they are always trying to impede, to restrict, to regulate and tax. The left has been doing its best to turn the United States into Venezuela for two generations. Progressivism is socialism. Venezuela is how it ends.

This picture of pucker Pelosi caught my eye.

Tardive dyskinesia? That is not a normal facial expression. I noticed it when it happened live.

A Jury of your sneers...

The Country is Kicking-Ass, and even their constituents can't help but notice their 401k statements, the overtime, and the lower tax rates. All the GOP needs to do is to field someone, anyone, with common sense in each of their districts to give the voters an alternative to this fakata carnival cavalcade of creaton's.

Watch Slick Willy Clinton in his 1995 SOTU address talking about illegal immigration. Every liberal should be forced to watch this:

Come on, Republicans did not applaud or look happy at Obama State of the Union addresses either. The opposition party never cheers the president during the speech.

Not true. The opposition party typically cheers when the POTUS at the dais proposes something with which they agree.

Granted, that is not as often as it is when the POTUS is from the same party; however, when it happens, they normally do so. Not last night.

I’ve seen comments elsewhere that it is her dentures slipping. Perhaps it is. I wish no ill on anyone.

But, couple her physical behavior with her inability to coherently finish a sentence and I don’t think Polident is the right prescription.

I understand the Democrats applauded when the President recognized Kevin McCarthy. So there's that.

“With her money, she could have the best dentures in the world!”

Looked to me as if she had been snacking on green persimmons. Anyway, I hope they continue to make fools out of themselves as it’s a winning ticket for the GOP...

The Dems have become the Jihadis of American politics. They are the enemy of America. They are becoming more radicalized. They have to be eliminated politically.

You’re right! We just saw the movie, Nancy was playing the role last night of Chamberlain. Just proves that Rats can’t think for themselves. Pitiful.

“Shouldn’t mock her for having poorly-fitting dentures.”

The bitch can afford implants. And of course we can — and should — mock her. For anything and everything.

Do I have to write “/sarc” every time? Are there no longer any topics that are so patently obvious where this is not needed?

Sheesh

“the Communist Party members took off, as if their clothes were on fire.”

It must suck to be them this morning. Last night might’ve been the moment in time they realized they’ve lost all control and probably have no future. Then they topped it off with Kennedy as the cherry on top.

Almost as good as Election Night.

This social experiment we continue to live in has had a turn-around. In 2016, many people voted who had had participated in years. They were disgusted. Mr. Trump is their Champion, of the people, by the people and for the people.

Last night at the SOTU, Their Champion reviewed just some of the accomplishments WE had achieved through the effective leadership of an accomplished business man.

The minority party gave us a look at what the minority owners in a hostile takeover look like. But the majority wants a return on the investment of the stockholders - We the people.

I only hope many that in the past have pulled the lever for the minority party will see their representatives do not share their same hopes.

By sitting on their hands they show themselves as defeated.

I tried to listen to the pundits after the speech, but they were ugly as usual. We all know what we witnessed.

My memory is having a very difficult time with this issue.

I think it was during the Bush 42 Administration when the Democrats were told, by the House leader, to clap and to stand whenever they could. This was to show that they were bipartisan and willing to work. The whole idea was so that the visuals during the SOTU speech could not be used against sitting representatives.

Does anybody else remember this? I also think Tip O’Neill used the same theatrics.

Not standing for first responders and the military guest will ultimately turn out to be a hugh mistake for the Dims.
